Автор: Buruma, Ian; Margalit, AvishaiНазвание: OccidentalismISBN: 0143034871 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780143034872Издательство: Random House (USA)Рейтинг:Цена: 5730 T Наличие на складе: Есть в Астане Описание: This grandly illuminating study of two centuries of anti-Western ideas ("Foreign Affairs") traces the historical roots of a virulent set of stereotypes about Westerners and the West, a cluster of notions and prejudices that Ian Buruma and Avishai Margalit call Occidentalism. The path does not lead back to Islam but, in fact, back to the West itself. From nineteenth-century Germany and Russia to twentieth-century Japan, China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, Buruma and Margalit track the spread of these noxious ideas. Drawing on their formidable range and gift for synthesis to place modern terrorists in a long continuum of enemies of Western liberal society, Buruma and Margalit have written a book of extraordinary clarity and wide-ranging relevance.

Автор: Al-E Ahmad, Jalal & Daneshvar, Simin, & Avishai, BНазвание: Israeli RepublicISBN: 1632061392 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781632061393Издательство: Simon & SchusterРейтинг:Цена: 6180 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: The Israeli Republic "suggests how the Iranian and Israeli leaders who feel such intense mutual hostility today actually mirror one another in certain ways, particularly in their foundational attitudes toward religious authority, political and economic populism and the West. That a writer such as Al-e Ahmad, guru to the ayatollahs, liked Israel now seems touching. What he liked about Israel seems cautionary." --Bernard Avishai, Foreign AffairsWritten by a preeminent Iranian writer who helped lay the popular groundwork for the Iranian Revolution, The Israeli Republic should be required reading for anyone interested in the history and current political landscape of the Middle East. Documenting Jalal Al-e Ahmad's two-week-long trip to Israel in February of 1963, his account "Journey to the Land of Israel" caused a firestorm when it was published in Iran, upsetting the very revolutionary clerics whose anti-Western sentiments Al-e Ahmad himself had fueled. Yet, in the thriving Jewish State, Jalal Al-e Ahmad saw a model for a possible future Iran. Based on his controversial travelogue, supplemented with letters between the author and his wife, Simin Daneshvar (the first major Iranian woman novelist), and translated into English for the first time, The Israeli Republic is a record of Al-e Ahmad's idealism, insight, and ultimate disillusionment toward Israel. Vibrantly modern in its sensibility and fearlessly polemical, this book will change the way you think about the Middle East.
